A black outfit covered her from head to toe - not something she’d usually find herself wearing, but it was a much better camouflage in the black of night. Gracie had had this day planned for a long time.…

“You’re in a mood, I see.” “So I am.” “Well, these people are here to see a fairly run race. Do not disappoint them, lad. Despite your fucking ill moods.” “Ach!” Rubio trotted off, his hand gesturing dismissively, heading for the starting gates, his team of armentarii walking with him. “You had better win, boy!” Buccio called after him. “Our Dominus has spent too much coin in getting you to this auspicious day.” “Yah, Yah,” the Germani grumbled, “I shall win.

His words may diminish readers’ intentions to read as some readers may find his words insulting and offensive. Another example in which Jefferson uses insulting language is when he talks about flowing hair. “Add to these, flowing hair, a more elegant symmetry of form, their own judgement in favor of the whites, declared by their…
